Configuring Wireless I/O
ControlEdge 2020 Controller supports wireless I/O configuration
enabling the user to design, configure, commission and monitor
ISA100 wireless networks and associated wireless field devices by
ControlEdge Builder.
FDAP: Field Device Access Point (FDAP) is a wireless infrastructure
node that acts as an ISA100.11a access point and a mesh node
member. FDAP can only communicate through ISA100.11a.
Field Device: A field instrument with no routing capability, provides
input or output channels for process control data.
Wireless I/O Device: A logical instance of a wireless field device.
Channel: A logical instance that presents the real value acquired from
field devices.
Provision: Associating field devices to the controller.
Commission: Configuration for FDAP and field device, including
enabling over-the-air provisioning, associating field devices to the
controller, configuring field device channels and so on.
ATTENTION: For wireless I/O, you must use time source as a
precision NTP server.
The following table list the wireless I/O configuration procedure.
Table 6-5: Wireless I/O Configuration procedure
Task Go to
Wireless I/O device configuration - offline
Step 1 Set the controller time.
l See "Setting time source" on page69 for
more information.
l If the NTP server is not available, see “Set_
RTC” in the Function and Function Block
Configuration Reference Guide to
configure the controller time.
Step 2 Enable Wireless I/O
protocol on one of the
Ethernet port of the
controller.
